A cross-sectional study was conducted among 627 elderly individuals
of 60 years and above in the rural area of Udupi taluk. The
objectives were to determine the prevalence of depression and to
study the correlates of depression among the elderly. In this
study, the prevalence of depression among the elderly population
was determined to be 21.7%. The prevalence in the age group of 80
years and above and those individuals who had a history of death in
the family within the last six months were found to be 34.4% and
52.4% respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed
that these two correlates were independently associated with
depressive disorders in elderly population.
